Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 760/40,7741/972
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 760,7741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 760,7741 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,972 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,972 is 9720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 760,7741
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 7741
List of positive integer factors of 7741 that divides 7741 without a remainder.
1,7741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 760,7741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 760,7741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,972
2 | 40, 972 |
2 | 20, 486 |
10, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 243 = 9720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 760/40,7741/972 is 1/9720
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 40,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,972) = ( 40 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(40,972) = 38880 / 4
LCM(40,972) = 9720
